hearing that Speed Channel is considering moving the Inside Nextel Cup show, currently at 90 minutes, back to the one-hour format later this summer.(5-10-2005)
UPDATE 2: from a Speed Channel interview with new VP of Studio Production Chris Long
SPEED: Let’s talk about some of the other studio shows – any changes coming for Inside NEXTEL Cup?
LONG: I want that show to be all about letting the viewer feel what it was like to have been in that week’s race — like a driver or crew chief is sitting right there with them explaining all of the decisions made during the heat of battle. INC will return to the 60-minute format, we will utilize our access to in-car communication much more and I think it is fair to say you will see some talent adjustments there as well.
